Every trained teacher know about the teaching theories like Behaviorist, Cognitivist and Constructivist. they also been teach all the pedagogy to help them to plan the instructional. Development of science and technology impulse the change on teachers' mind set. Where is the way to plan our instructional?
Although our goverment had spend a lot of money to set up IT facility in school, especially in teaching Science and Mathematics in English. our school had a computer lab with couple tens computer system, but the maintenance is poor. there are only a few computer in function, others were only the body without soul.
Where is the way toward TPACK ? Because of this weakness, we are in stuck and to put ourself only apply the PCK? Do we just sitting and waiting some one to solve our problems? Technology play a important role in instructional in advance country, it can't be replace by others. Online learning is one of the part in their study life, they are moving far in front of us. If we are awareness from this conjuncture, we really need to change our attitude to look into TPACK seriously.
Today, teacher's function is more as a facilitator to guide the student to learn what they need to know, it is because the content and knowledge are in their palm or lap. they are easy to get knowledge and information in such a short time, and what they are getting to know is more then a teacher can tell! What is the value of a teacher if we can move our step to front ? How can we bearably if student are more know than we as a teacher?
pedagogy is pedagogy which will be limited if we can combine it with technology. may be we feel uncomfortable in the beginning moment, but i can ensure you with feel it is more help than torture you! we will enjoy the foison fruits with it sweetness in future. Let we start with a small step toward a broad and wide IT world, we swim in IT ocean with our lovely student and you will feel the fantastic feeling.
